When you make a gift to Mercy College, you make a direct impact on students’ lives. You are also making an investment in the value of education. Your gift helps ensure that our college has the resources to grow and to continue to serve students and the community by offering an affordable, quality education.

We need you. Your gift to the Annual Fund makes a difference, supports scholarships and helps provide academic enhancements that have a direct impact on students who otherwise would be unable to afford college. Donate to the Annual Fund here.

Supports Our StudentsGifts from alumni also support student-centered programs, such as co-curricular activities, technology updates, and other academic enhancements.

Generate interest and inquiries from prospective students

Increase the quantity and quality of student applications

Display alumni pride and enthusiasm

Enhance the degrees of existing graduates

Student Scholarships

A large percentageof our students rely on federal and state financial support, but those funds do not usually cover their entire tuition. Scholarship funds help bridge that gap. Our scholarship program makes it possible for us to fulfill Mercy's mission to transform lives through higher education, and help our students achieve their dreams of earning a college degree. Make your donation here.

At what age can you be charged as an adult?
Only two states - New York and North Carolina - charge youth 16 years and older as adults.
Youth incarcerated with adults have a difficult time recovering from the isolation, abuse, and conditions inside adult jails and prisons. This needs to change, and the Raise the Age campaign seeks to ensure that youth offenders are handled in the juvenile justice system where they can receive the rehabilitation they need to improve their lives. Come learn about this important campaign and why the governor is working to Raise the Age of juvenile jurisdiction.
